    No potato chips

    I never put the EB on asI park it level in the garge every night. The zero % humidity here in the middle of the Mohave Desert makes me doubt rust. I was thinking differential as I just had the fluid changed or something with the rear axle seal as that was just done to on warranty

    They may have forgot to add LSD additive when the rear axle was serviced.

    Sorry, last 2 times I was in the desert it rained like a Mo Fo. Forgot how dry it usually is

    It shouldn't be that difficult or costly to drain the rear pumpkin & replace the fluid (even tho it was just done). It's the obvious first step. I forget what the proper fluid is but I'm sure someone else will remember.

    One thing I've seen, (or not seen) there is no noticable marking of any kind to indicate that our rear axle is limited slip. (at least on mine)

    I was under a 99 Trooper a week or so ago, & it was clearly marked on the rear axle..."use limited slip additive", or something to that effect.

    Anyone else ever seen any limited slip tag or marking on their VX?

    It just dawned on me why mine doesn't have one...my rear axle housing was replaced back in 04.

    Nice pics...
